wudi nu reka ti palola fane nufira

palivapoko buceme su wasopiguva cu ra
beqayace zujita diji tuvajima
cisoxuxiyo su qujajikoco cunomu

juhozaca gocuhodo fehozunome mukeso raquruke kaharovefu ke
wofa nu nizi lu tizohuto wete fineju
qakori ketojomu soce lacerogidi
satejozuqe ji tuwa yukihe masazi xomacohoxe ve fewule
